Abstract

The issue of education process organization to increase the healthy lifestyle motivation in extramural freshmen within the "Physical Culture" discipline is studied. The authors identified that these students possess a previously shaped health culture of varied level, manifesting in their lifestyle and forms of professional and applied physical culture. This study aims to solve the issue of determining organization of learning training materials within the minimum volume of classroom hours (10 hours), increasing the motivation to digest the knowledge about healthy lifestyle. Entry polling of 77 students allowed identifying their subjective assessment of their health and their mixed attitude toward healthy lifestyle, allowing adjusting the content of their independent and classroom assignments. The education process is built upon the mixed training model: classical education plus distance learning. Web technologies (Cross and Google services, H5P project, Moodle electronic medium) used during training allowed students to prepare their current and final (creative) works and increase their interest in training material, personal health monitoring. Results of the final poll allowed identifying that the percentage of respondents considering knowledge about healthy lifestyle as important and meeting its requirements as obligatory was 100%. However, the subjective physical health assessment matched the expected objective level only for 57 students (74%). Knowledge about healthy lifestyle increased in 50% of respondents. The education process organization taking into account extramural students personal interest facilitates shaping of the general cultural competence of the "Physical Culture" discipline and healthy lifestyle, which is a socially significant component of overall health.
